Chapter 115 The monarch and the minister played right

On the day Ouyang Zheng arrived in Zhongjing, he reported to the Ministry of Officials and handled all the documents to be handed over. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info After that, I visited a few old friends, and I drank a lot at the banquet in the evening.

After a chatter between old friends, he knows a lot of inside things, Xu Song knows the details of the matter best, and he also understands it with Ouyang Zheng one by one, this time Ouyang Zheng knows that he can re-enter Beijing, but there is another joint, but Xu Song doesn't know that this joint is Zhu Zhenguo.

On the second day, it was taken by the officials of the Ministry of Officials to the early dynasty, in the Qianqing Palace, Ouyang was standing in the front row on the right hand, but his heart was extremely excited, this palace Ouyang Zheng was very familiar, but more than ten years ago, he was standing on the left side of the first row of the second row, but today he is standing on the right side of the first row of the third row.

After a lot of big and small matters were agreed, there was nothing to do with Ouyang Zheng, Ouyang Zheng just looked up at Emperor Chengping a few times when everyone was not paying attention, although it was disrespectful to look at the emperor, but Ouyang Zheng didn't resist the urge to look.

This Emperor Chengping is not like back then, his body has been blessed a lot, his hair is slightly gray, and his spirit is not as good as before, he was originally sharp, but now he looks much more restrained.

However, Zhu Tingchang, the first assistant minister of the cabinet, still looked at this Ouyang Zheng from time to time, but Ouyang Zheng did not look at this Zhu Tingchang with a straight eye, obviously Ouyang Zheng's proud heart never put this Zhu Tingchang in his eyes.

For some reason, the two were born on the wrong path.

may be the way of being an official, and the two have different opinions. Ouyang Zheng has always believed in the teachings of the saints, and he must be a loyal minister who dares to admonish, and a mirror of the emperor.

And this Zhu Tingchang is a person who knows how to ponder the emperor's mind better, not that Zhu Tingchang's ability to do things is not good, but this Zhu Tingchang knows better what the emperor wants, and the emperor wants to make a thousand contributions, so this Zhu Tingchang will help the emperor achieve his goal. This emperor wants to deceive himself, and this Zhu Tingchang is bent on finding all kinds of excuses for the emperor's failure.

But there is another point, Zhu Tingchang is also a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, otherwise he would not be able to be the first auxiliary minister for more than ten years, and Ouyang Zheng can be regarded as a stumbling block to sacrifice.

The meeting went smoothly, everything was arranged on the surface, and there were almost no disputes and debates about political disagreement.

When he retreated, the emperor left first, and then he still withdrew from the main hall of the Qianqing Palace one by one according to the size of the official position and the order of the position.

Ouyang Zheng had just walked out of the door of the main hall, and a little eunuch stepped forward and grabbed Ouyang Zheng and said, "The emperor's imperial study has summoned you." ”

Although the little eunuch's voice was small, it could be heard around the left and right, and Zhu Tingchang was just a few steps in front of his head, and he had already begun to ponder in his heart, and a sense of uneasiness slowly flooded his heart.

Ouyang Zheng followed the little eunuch straight into the imperial study, the emperor was sitting on the couch, and Ouyang Zheng came in to pay a big salute: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Get up!" Emperor Chengping's expression was not much joy, more like impatience.

"Emperor Xie!" Ouyang Zheng slowly stood up, still bowing his head, and looking directly at the emperor was disrespectful, so most of the courtiers and the emperor bowed their heads at close range.

"You have taught a good disciple." The first sentence of Emperor Chengping's mouth was to praise this Zhu Zhenguo, but he didn't know whether it was true or negative.

"What did the emperor say about Zhu Zhenguo? This son is not bad. Ouyang Zheng was a little unclear in his heart, how could he say that he was a protégé Zhu Zhenguo, but he was puzzled, thinking that the emperor knew Zhu Zhenguo?

"This Zhu Zhenguo said, what do you think of the heavy punishment of officials?" Emperor Chengping already had a plan in his heart, and this time he called Ouyang Zheng to come, probably to explain what Ouyang Zheng should do.

"Your Majesty, this son is talking nonsense, and the ministers are wrong, and the emperor forgives his sins." Ouyang Zheng didn't understand the emperor's words, and when he heard the emperor's remarks about Zhu Zhenguo's re-rule of officials, he also felt disagree, Ouyang Zheng believed in the teachings of the saints the most, and he was also taught by the saints, where would he agree with the way of re-governing the officials.

"If the saint can teach everyone to be like you, there is no need for any repetition." Although Emperor Chengping is called a puppet, he also knows what kind of character Ouyang is. This can be regarded as a compliment to Ouyang Zheng, and it is also another kind of recognition, which also includes the emperor's trust in Ouyang Zheng's character.

"What does the emperor want his ministers to do?" Ouyang has a good character, but he has also been an official for many years, so he can't hear what the emperor has to say.

"Heavy discipline officials, this great world, everywhere is a miasma, you will sweep away the filth for me, and return it to a bright future." Emperor Chengping did not play dumb riddles and directly issued tasks.

"Your Majesty, don't, building more schools to educate and preach more teachings of saints is the right way." Ouyang Zheng's temperament is still the same.

"Ouyang Zheng! I recruited you to Beijing, not to listen to you tell me every day that this must not be done, but because I want you to do a good job, and if you can't do it, you will come to see you. The emperor seemed to see Ouyang Zheng who was arguing with him in the court and not allowing him to send troops, but he was the Ouyang Zheng he hated the most in the emperor's heart. couldn't help but be angry, and his tone was stern.

The emperor was furious, and Ouyang Zheng was already kneeling in front of him, but he was entangled in his heart. The emperor said that he would come to see him, but he was not joking, this Emperor Chengping reigned for 29 years, and I don't know how many people came to see him.

"Your Majesty, why is Weichen here for this errand?" Ouyang Zheng was already retreating in his heart.

"Heavy officials, this is not what Zhu Zhenguo said, it was said by you Ouyang Zheng, and it was you Ouyang Zheng who said it to me in this imperial study today." Emperor Chengping is forcing the donkey to grind, just for this Ouyang Zheng is upright, and no one can be more suitable than Ouyang Zheng for the important errand of the world's rulers.

As soon as the emperor said this, Ouyang Zheng still didn't know the state of affairs, even if it was another person to do this errand, it was still the same as Ouyang Zheng's errand, and the person who was replaced was just listening to the emperor's dispatch, but it was still Ouyang Zheng who made plans and bewitched the emperor.

This Chengping Emperor's political methods are really clever, if it weren't for his youth and vigor, eager for quick success, he would have suffered a fiasco in Shangdian. must be regarded as a generation of Ming Jun that is difficult to come out of the ages. It can also be regarded as an inopportune time, if you can be born three or four hundred years earlier and be an emperor, instead of the emperor who has been peaceful for five hundred years in Dahua, you will probably be able to succeed in one battle.

"Your Majesty, the saint is disgraced." It has not been a thousand years since the punishment of the scholars in the world was punished by heavy punishments, and it has always been an ancient precept to punish doctors, in the eyes of Ouyang Zheng, a Confucian student, it is really a shame for a saint.

If Zhu Zhenguo looks at this matter, it is different, in the last life, in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang peeled the skin and filled the grass of corrupt officials and put them in the yamen to warn future generations. Manchu people can go to prison and kill hundreds of scholars because of a single word. Now it's just a matter of strictly investigating and governing the officials in the world.

"Shame on the saints? The saint taught you to be loyal to the king and love the people, but do you still remember? The monarch ordered you but did not listen, the officials were harsh and self-fertile, and the people were in dire straits, and you did not care? "This Emperor Chengping really didn't take the tradition very seriously, and it was also Emperor Chengping who was the first to tax the corporal clan in this world for hundreds of years.

Ouyang Zheng heard this, but he was stunned, Ouyang Zheng had never thought in this direction, Ouyang Zheng had been in Dajiang County for more than ten years, where he didn't know about the people's suffering, where he didn't know that the officials were selfish, where he didn't know that bandits were rampant, and the people were in dire straits, and he had seen thousands of households colluding with bandits.

Ouyang Zheng couldn't help but think again, is this errand right? Is it beneficial to the country and the people? Whether I don't want to do this errand more, or I care more about my lifelong reputation, but I think about it.

"Ouyang Zheng, you have always boasted of being clear, but now it seems that you are not a selfish person, for the sake of your own reputation, but you don't care about the people of the world, I really misjudged you." Emperor Chengping looked directly at people's hearts, but it was another dose of fierce medicine.

Ouyang is kneeling on the ground, but he is full of tears, the name of this life, the people of the world, the teachings of this saint, and the errand of this monarch, but it is haunting in his heart.

The monarch and the minister were relatively silent for a long time.

"I am willing to die!"

Ouyang Zheng's last words ended this monarch and minister's recital, and it also made Emperor Chengping breathe a sigh of relief, but in his heart, it was this Ouyang Zheng who was bored. As soon as Ouyang Zheng said this, Emperor Chengping didn't even say a word, waved his sleeves and walked away. I really don't want to look at this old man a few more times.

This Emperor Chengping is really a good leader, but he does not use people according to personal preferences, only uses talents according to ability and demand, even if he doesn't like this Ouyang Zheng in his heart, but it is also because this Ouyang Zheng is upright, dare to speak out, and is bent on letting this Ouyang Zheng govern the officials. Perhaps it is also because Emperor Chengping is getting older, and he has shown a lot of wisdom.

Emperor Chengping didn't think that this Ouyang Zheng could be in tears today to cope with this errand, but he also wanted to thank the teachings of the sage, if there was no sage to teach such a Ouyang Zheng for the country and the people, where would there be Ouyang Zheng who gave up his name today and died only for his family and country.
